And Jonathon Schwartz has just posted saying Linux ZFS would have full patent indemnity.

okay but, Posted Jun 13, 2007 9:38 UTC (Wed) by michaeljt (subscriber, #39183) [Link] That said "GPL v2 or later" if I read correctly. I didn't take the time to read the code, but presumably that is only code for reading and would not affect potential patents on writing parts.
On another note, if Sun make Solaris GPL3 and accept external contributions, it might get tricky to keep parts (i.e. ZFS) under another licence.
okay but, Posted Jun 13, 2007 19:51 UTC (Wed) by dlang (subscriber, #313) [Link] note that the zfs code released for grub is not enough to actually be able to write to the filesystem, just enough for grub to be able to find the files that it needs.
